Pascal’s Wager – Betting on God
This week on The Philosopher’s Zone we’re wagering on God. Well, why not? What have we got to lose? If God doesn’t exist, we lose nothing; if he does, we gain everything. This is the famous argument known as ‘Pascal’s wager’ after the great seventeenth-century French philosopher Blaise Pascal. This week, we examine the wager and try to work what our odds are.
Roger’s comment:
In this regular program aired on Australia’s ABC Radio National, Alan Saunders and Professor James Franklin of UNSW give Pascal’s Wager a fair and balanced assessment. Worth listening to.
